MB E430 Sport
new used E430 Sport
I'm a new owner of a 1998 E430 Sport --- I'm very happy with it!
32,000 miles
Excellent condition
Sport Package
Came from a 2004 G35 Coupe, but needed more room and wanted to stay away from common cars, like the G35.

How do you like it compared to the G35? I mean in terms of power/acceleration.

Straight line acceleration feel a lot faster in the G35. But I'm very happy with the E430 because of it's V8 power, quality interior parts and features, more room, and better value.

Wouldn't a 98 E430 Sport already have the sport shocks and springs?
By the way, nice ride!

Suprisingly, it comes with the same suspension as the non-sport. The shocks are equivalent to Bilstein HD and the springs are fairly basic. The Bilstein Sport are an inch and a half shorter to work with the shorter, stiffer sport springs. The appearence is more in line with how you'd expect it to look, not slammed, but also not with the excess gap in the wheel well.
